CINEOS — Cinematic Intelligence

Describe the feeling. We find the film.

CINEOS is the first cinema search engine that understands mood, emotion, and memory — not just genre, cast, or ratings.

How it works

You speak — messy, poetic, half-remembered. We find the feeling, not the algorithm. We show you why — not a guess, a reason.

What we search

275 films, each one studied and understood. Infinite ways to ask. One search bar. That is the whole thing.

Our principles

Depth over scale
Reasons, not ratings
Words, not filters
Find, do not follow

Early Access

We are opening early access to a small group who believe cinema is more than content. Free. No spam. Just an invite when your spot opens.

CINEOS Premiere

Hyenas

A fabulously rich woman returns to the poor village that once cast her out and offers it a fortune — on the single condition that they kill the man who wronged her.

The dread here comes from certainty — you understand what the village will do long before it admits it, and the measured pace refuses to release you from the wait. Mambéty films the murder as communal routine rather than tragic climax, denying you the grief that would let you move on, so the heaviness of watching people choose complicity in full knowledge stays lodged past the credits. The Sahel light hangs over it all like a moral weather.

FAQ

Is it based on something?

It reworks a famous play as an African fable — a rich woman buys a village's conscience — and turns it into a parable about money and the price of a single life.

Why the hyenas?

They're the film's quiet answer to what greed turns people into — scavengers who feed on the already-dying — and they haunt the edges of the story like a verdict.
